here's an idea. How about we worry about hp changes and not a convertible that will look like hell. eh. Or how about tunning the 8 with the suspension mods the Shinka has on the GT models. I think that will be just dandy. Back to you regular schedule program.

 

I hope not, thats one ugly car, imo

 

i've seen one before in these forums,but don't remember :o

ps:just remember it was mention with V8

 

I really hope to see a high powered rx8 2 seat convertible. I sold my RX8 because I really had no use for the two back seats, and I wanted a convertible. It became a fun summer car when I got STI as a daily, and it just couldn't meet my needs anymore. I do miss it though, because it's such a great machine. I'd gladly part with my S2K if a convertible comes out. I like the RX8 more overall then the S2K, but it just didn't cut it for me as a pure fun car. I'll just have to sit back and wait, and start saving. Now that I've gone convertible as a fun car, there's no going back for me, so the only way I'll ever own an RX8 again is if it's available as a roadster.

 

I have a photo that was floting around of the supra but its too large I cant post it, is in a japanese magazine. it looks hot.

 

Um, how about the Ford Freestyle? Chrysler Pacifica? Chrysler PT Cruiser? Chevy HHR?

Or are the US manufacturers making a mistake by branding them as wagon/SUVs instead of wagon/minivans? As if "minivan" isn't the automaker's marketing curse word...

 

you havent seen a Mazda5 in person?

 

I saw one the other day on the highway. I came up behind it and didn't know what it was from a distance. I thought, damn, that thing is really ugly. I figured it was somebody who drove here from mexico or something in some weird mexican car. Nope, it was a mazda.

 

ooooo, sounds exciting. post them

 

I'm so a-sited :p I really can't wait to see these pictures.

...Did you say your phone had a 2 mega pixel camera?
That is pretty sweet my friend.

 

go home now

 

Could that be the next supra? I really hope so..
Those pics look like a jaguar XK

 

great job!!!, you should submit these photos to autoweek.com they give u free subscription for it and if they really like it, you can win prizes. you are the man ryan13b.

 

possibly supra, possibly aston martin?

 

Jaguar. Looks a lot like the concept XK8 from a few months ago.

 

yeah, i think ure right, it does look jaguarish, its got the dark green jag color too. still, nice job done ryan13b

 

I agree with the others, looks much more Jaguar-ish than Supra-like, it doesn't seem to be in the mold of Toyota's current styling trends. Something about it just seems more European. And I don't think the Supra would be far enough along to be running these kinds of test mules.

Really hard to say though, I suppose it's possible it could be a Supra. It is a great spy shot regardless. You should of looked harder for a clue to really tell the make. A lot of cars have round emblems.

 

Jag all the way.

 

That settles it. It's a proto Jag without a doubt.

 

The Supra was my dream car in HS. Now it's my most anticipated car. If they can keep it between 40-45grand I'm gonna start selling off my orgins.

 

Edmunds.com has a little blurb on it....they seem to htink it will be 30ish and may debut at the Tokyo auto show in Oct

 

yeah I expect it to be very competitive price wise with the 350Z. So dont expect it to be like the old J2Z twin turbo Supras, at this price range ull get a reliable and fun sports car with 300+hp naturally asperated. the expensive price was the reason that killed the supra in the first place, Toyota wont do that agian.

 

Same here - that pic looks a lot like the new Jaguar XK.

The new Supra will (hopefully) be outside of the 350Z range. I hope Toyota starts a second japanese super sports car period ...

I love my RX-8 and like the 350Z and the S2000, as well as the Evo and the Sti (sort of), but the approach to really attack in the high performance segment happened with the likes of Supra, RX-7, NSX and 3000GT. If one manufacturer starts that race again, the others will follow.

 

Don't count on it. The money these days is in the sport-sedan segment and the //M3 and the C6 Z06 own the 50-70k range where the Supra, 300ZX, RX-7, etc used to compete. The bar is pretty damn high these days. Closest we may come to seeing an actual super car from Japan for the time being will be the upcoming R35 GT-R.

 

Hmm, new Supra, new RX-7, Evo 9, R35 GT-R... there's some exciting times a comin'.
